TOUGH COMMUTE?

VOTE ABSENTEE!

Don’t let a long commute put your right to vote at risk. You may be eligible to vote by absentee ballot!

Virginia Law allows voters to absentee vote if they are “working and commuting to/from home for 11 or more hours between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.”

DO THE MATH!
Work Day = 8 hours
Lunch = 1 hour
Commute = 2 hours
TOTAL = 11 hours

Is your total commute to and from work less than 2 hours some days, but more on other days?

Don’t take a gamble...
VOTE ABSENTEE!

Don’t let traffic jams, metro service disruptions, or bad weather cost you your most precious right! For more details, call 703.746.4050.

Democratic and Republican Primary Information

Election Fact Sheet

Voters may vote in only one Primary and must declare their choice of Party Ballot before voting.

  • Democratic Sample Ballot. The Democratic Primary is for U.S. House of Representatives and Alexandria City Council. Only one Democratic candidate filed for U.S. Senate and Mayor, so no primaries are needed for those offices.
  • Republican Sample Ballot. The Republican Primary is for the U.S. Senate. Only one candidate filed for U.S. House of Representatives, so no primary is needed for that office. (The Republican Party will nominate its candidates for Mayor and City Council by Canvass in early June.)

Additional Election Information:

  • Absentee Voting begins Friday, April 27. For more information, including deadlines and an absentee ballot application, please go to our Absentee Voting page.
  • The Voter Registration Deadline for this election is Monday, May 21, 2012. Voter Registration Applications must be postmarked by this date, or dropped off at our office by 5 p.m.
